Neither Colon or Starks have done much this preseason to standout and take control of the RT position. That said, one of these stiffs gotta play.

Who do you go with?

Personally, I think Starks is the better choice of the two because his pass pro is superior to Colon. Yes, Max does get beat, but Colon gets beat a hell of alot more. With respect to run blocking, I beleive it is a wash or slightly in Colon's favor. However, the advantage is so slight that it doesn't overcome his penchant for getting our franchise QB killed.

You summed up my thoughts for me. I also give the slight edge to Starks but based off of very weak evidence. I feel this week's game will give us a better feel since the starters will be in for longer than 75 seconds.

Thinking more about the Oline going into this season, I'm putting more and more confidence into Ben's ability to adjust to coverage at the line leaving less expectation of the OLine to perform at a higher level than recent seasons.

I have a feeling that we're going to see a lot more of what I've been craving to see for years: A lot of hot-route dink-n-dunk like passes to counter the blitz. (What works against could very well work for us. Think Santonio Holmes against the Iggles) This could really help ease tension on the pass-protection side of things, keeping the defense honest, so to speak.

It's certainly going to be interesting, any way you slice it. Maybe it's the Kool-Aid talking, but we have a lot of weapons to be accounted for. Hopefully, as the season goes, we'll see this schemeing taking place more and more, and in turn see Ben on his ass less and less.
